THOUSANDS of records and other antiques will be on sale this weekend at the Wizard\u2019s Annual Book and Record Fair.<\/p>\n
There will be jazz, rock, classic, and pop records on sale along with other treasures.<\/p>\n
Organiser, Peter Wills, said he\u2019s eager to see the event come to life again, now in its fifth year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI basically have so much stuff because I have been an antique dealer for 37 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m interested in records and an avid reader, and I love anything old, so I\u2019ve got the perfect job because that\u2019s what I do for a living.<\/p>\n
\u201cFive years ago, I heard another dealer had been renting the hall and I realised it was the perfect location for me since it\u2019s so close to my shop.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought it was an excellent opportunity and a way to get people in with more diverse items.\u201d<\/p>\n
Set for the Messenger Hall next to the V.R.I. Hall in Soldiers Hill, Mr Wills said there will be 14 tables which are already set up and he will bring a further seven of eight from home.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ll be a lot of paintings and prints, books and records and a wide variety of each and other collectibles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere should be something for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe get a pretty good turn our especially on the Saturday and we have our regular collectors who look forward to it and people we\u2019ve never met before.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s one of those days when people go along and have a good look through a lot of stuff, it\u2019s a different formular than going into an ordinary shop.\u201d<\/p>\n
